Why go
The church of Santi Quirico e Giulitta stands near Dervio's old bridge over the Varrone.
Recorded in Rotprando's will of 814, it was probably a private chapel, later enlarged and given to the church of Dervio.
The Romanesque stone bell tower, from around 1080, has blind arches and a tier of twin windows divided by small columns. The church was declared a national monument in the early twentieth century because of its tower. The single nave and gabled Baroque façade were rebuilt in 1628. A seventeenth-century altarpiece depicts Quiricus and Julitta with Sebastian and Roch. Tradition identifies the two saints as a child and his mother, martyred for their faith.
